Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the two witnesses and thank them for being with us today.
I would perhaps like to address somewhat more specific cases. For some, transnational repression is simply defined as a foreign state attacking its own nationals in another territory. However, I'm going to talk about a case that was in the newspapers recently here in Canada. It's the case of Irwin Cotler, who was targeted by a foreign state, even though he isn't a national of that foreign state.
Do you see this as a form of transnational repression?
What consequences could this famous transnational repression have on Canadian citizens, or citizens of other countries if similar cases were to occur there too?
I'll ask Ms. Teich to answer my question first. Then it will be Ms. Aljizawi's turn.
